Open source alternatives to Google Analytics
Google Analytics sends your visitors' data to Google; every tool here keeps it on a server you control. For a simple, cookie-free dashboard, Umami is the most-starred option, with nearly 40,000 GitHub stars, an MIT licence and a Docker image. Plausible Analytics takes the same lightweight approach with a script under 1 KB, under AGPL-3.0. If you need more than page views, HitKeep adds goals, funnels and e-commerce tracking in a single binary, Rybbit covers product analytics, and Countly adds mobile apps, crash reporting and push notifications. Matomo, written in PHP under GPL-3.0 with over 20,000 stars, suits teams who already run PHP. GoatCounter is a small Go app under EUPL-1.2. GoAccess and AWStats take a different route: they read your server's log files, so they need no script on your pages, but they see only what your server logs. The trade-off with all of them is that the database, its backups and its updates become your job.

Google Analytics alternatives compared
We track 11 open-source Google Analytics alternatives, of which 6 currently score 70 or above on Repoly's GitHub health scale and 6 ship a Docker image. Umami leads on health at 98/100 with 187 commits in the last 90 days; across all 11 projects you are choosing between AGPL-3.0, Apache-2.0, EUPL-1.2 and 3 other licences.
Umami edges Rybbit 98 to 96, and most of the difference is stars: 40k stars against 13k stars. Rybbit is the busier codebase, though, with 212 commits in 90 days to 187.
The most recent release is HitKeep v2.15.1, published 2 days ago. GoAccess and Swetrix publish no tagged releases, which costs up to 25 of the 100 points. AWStats, Offen and Swetrix score under 40, so check recent activity before adopting them. By stack, Go (3), Nodejs (2) and C (1) are the most common. Umami, HitKeep and Offen are permissively licensed; Rybbit, Countly Community Edition, Plausible Analytics and 5 more are copyleft.

How to choose a Google Analytics alternative
- Want the project most likely to keep shipping? Start with Umami: health 98/100 and 187 commits in the last 90 days.
- Building it into a commercial product? Umami is MIT, a permissive licence, so changes you ship stay yours.
- Want the quickest install? Umami, Rybbit, Countly Community Edition and 3 more ship a Docker image; the others install by hand on their own stack.
- Planning to patch or extend it? Match your stack: Go (HitKeep, GoatCounter and 1 more), Nodejs (Umami and Countly Community Edition), C (GoAccess).
- The score measures maintenance, not features: shortlist two and try them with your own data before you migrate.
